Campbell’s big day not enough as Govs fall to Broncos and Cougars

BATON ROUGE, La. – Austin Peay State University's softball team saw Kylie Campbell collect three hits and a walk Friday versus Bosie State and Houston, in the opening day of the LSU Tiger Classic, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but it wasn't enough, as the Governors fell to the Broncos and Cougars by 10-3 and 10-1 finals.

Campbell, who also scored two runs on the day, was joined by Morgan Zuege and Macee Roberts as Governors who recorded more than one hit on the opening day of the classic.

Game 1
Boise State 10, Austin Peay 3

After a scoreless first inning by both teams, the Governors (5-3) saw the Broncos (9-4) take the lead on a pair of two-runs innings, coming in the second and third, with the score remaining that way until the fourth, when the Govs pushed a run across, making it 4-1.

Campbell would open the inning with a walk followed by a single by Roberts to move her into scoring position. Two batters later, Kiley Hinton would drive Campbell in with a single.

Boise State would extend its lead in the top of the sixth scoring three runs, going up 7-1, but Austin Peay responded with a pair of runs of its own in the bottom of the inning.

A double by Campbell got things started, followed by a run-scoring single by Roberts, driving in Campbell.

After a ground out moved Roberts to third, she would score on a sacrifice fly by Brie Howard. And cutting the deficit to 7-3.

But that would be as close as the Govs would get the rest of the way, as the Broncos added three more runs in the top of the seventh for the 10-3 final.

Game 2
Houston 10, Austin Peay 1

A seven-run second inning got the Govs in a hole early-on versus the Cougars (11-1), with only four of the runs being earned, due to an Austin Peay error.

Austin Peay would score its lone run on the bottom of the inning, with Kendyl Weinzapfel drawing a one-out walk, and then move around the bases on back-to-back infield singles by Gabi Apiag and Megan Hodum to load the bases with one out.

Zuege would then follow with a single through the right side of the Cougars infield, scoring Weinzapfel, with Apiag getting thrown out at the plate trying to score.

Houston would tack-on a single run in the third and two more runs in the fifth for the 10-1 final margin.
